Rolando Estévez, from Matanzas, Cuba has created over 500 handmade artist books, magazines, plaquettes, and catalogs for the independent publishing house, Ediciones Vigía. His books are collected privately and in cultural institutions in Europe and the US, such as the British National Library, the Atlantic Art Museum, the New York Museum of Modern Art (MOMA), the U.S. Library of Congress, as well as numerous universities in the U.S., Canada and other countries in the Americas. The University of Michigan, Special Collections Library, holds a major collection of these extraordinary books.
Please join us for a retrospective presentation by Estévez as he speaks about his work designing these spectacular books over the last twenty-seven years and the role of being an artist in Cuba today. His presentation will be followed by a reception.
